October Half Term: the Stories We Tell

Join us this October Half Term as we explore a world of stories with free family activities.

Where do we come from? What matters to us? What is important for us to remember? From historical happenings and fantastical myths to local gossip and traditional folktales, explore the different ways people of the past and present have kept a record of the world around them.

Journey through the many forms that stories can take, from oral storytelling and written tales to stories told through dance, song and objects.

Discover the stories that shaped Scotland and those that have reached us from distant shores.

Full programme to be announced soon.

Accessibility and facilities We want everyone who comes to our museums to enjoy their time with us and make the most of their visit.
